Our May meeting at the Hilton Cantina was great, because I got to meet with Dennis Wiita. We shared some stories and some "patient secrets" and talked about the upcoming 2010 Vasculitis Patient Symposium, among other things. Dennis is a really great guy and takes his condition in stride. When we met, he had been enjoying a stretch of pretty good days, so we wish that to continue. It is always a pleasure to spend time with Dennis.
The Cantina was okay, but not the cozy corner I am really looking for. So those present decided together that in June we are moving the meeting to The Range Cafe, located on Menaul just about a half block East of University.
Also, I will bring plenty of brochures. I hope lots of you will come and stock up for the summer. Take them to your doctors, to your hospital appointments, and share them with your friends and family. Many times, people only take one copy. Feel free to take a dozen, or more if you think you can share them to spread the word. I have plenty right now, and one of my goals is to get rid of them so they can be out there, doing their work of spreading awareness. Will you please help me? I look forward to seeing as many of you as can come to the June Meeting.
(Those of you who are out of town, let me know you are willing to help and I will mail some brochures to you.)
The Range cafe is a long time favorite place of mine, and I have held successful meetings there for other non-profit groups. So, I know it will be good. If it works out for NMVasculitis, then I would like to settle down here for a while and focus on encouraging more people to attend the meetings. If you do not want dinner, then just come have a drink and maybe a slice if pie. The pies at the Range Cafe are fresh and very good.
As always, the event starts at 6PM and lasts at least one hour, but can go longer if we are having a good time.
